A portrait of a city by a filmmaker passionately engaged with its past, present, and future.
Chahine mixes documentary and fiction to create a portrait of Egypt's bustling capital and a major center of the Arab world. The view of Cairo that emerges is a chaotic jumble of poverty, overcrowding, opulence and surging religious intolerance that results in a kaleidoscopic image recalling silent-era "city symphonies" and Fellini's "Roma".
Directed by Youssef Chahine.
Egypt 1991, 35mm, color, 22 min. Arabic with English subtitles
